"Our community has suffered a great loss tonight," Mayor Jennifer Gregerson said. "There were many young people who saw and heard things that no one should ever experience."
Police did not release the names of the victims. The injured person was taken to Harborview Medical Center with unknown injuries.
The shooting happened in the Chennault neighborhood of Mukilteo, a waterfront town of about 20,000 people, 25 miles north of Seattle.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Will Finn said the male suspect was pulled over at around 2 a.m. heading south on Interstate 5 near Chehalis, about 113 miles from Mukilteo. Finn declined to release information about his identity but said troopers returned him and the vehicle he was driving to the custody of Mukilteo police.
No motive has been given for the shooting. Authorities said they planned to release more information Saturday afternoon.
